Chapter 1487 Search and Rescue (Ⅱ)
Conti turned into a blue-backed swift and flew at full speed, at a speed of more than 300 miles per hour. Even with the wind and rain, it took less than half an hour to reach the hill where his long-lost company was trapped.
At this time, the wolf man bandits who came to chase them had already passed through the dense forest and appeared at the foot of the mountain with sparse bushes, blocking the only way down the mountain.
More than a hundred Alfheim soldiers were trapped on the mountain, with the cliff behind them, and there was no way to escape. Desire to go down the mountain to kill the enemy, but the troops fled for days, exhausted, with many wounded, and bullets and arrows were also exhausted in repeated battles to break through. In this extremely weak state, they went down the mountain to fight recklessly with the jackals and bandits , is tantamount to suicide.
There are only two things they can do now.
The first is to use the rocks and wood on the mountain to build simple fortifications, and try their best to resist the jackals and groups of hunting dogs who may attack the hill at any time.
In addition, these trapped wounded soldiers also collected some branches, lit a bonfire, and tried to send a distress signal to Delin Town through the thick smoke rising from the hill.
However, in this rainy weather, they could hardly find any dry wood, and the bonfire that they managed to light gave off a faint light in the rain, as if it might be extinguished by the rain at any time.
The gnolls at the foot of the mountain also hated the bad weather.
Through the "myth link", through Kandy's ears, Joan heard the gnolls who were wielding their knives to clear the bushes blocking the road, cursing the rainy season in the south of Alfheim.
If it wasn't for the incessant rain, how could they bother to go up the mountain to fight, just set a fire on this overgrown hill, and burn all the enemies hiding on the top of the mountain to death without moving a single soldier. Die, how easy it is!
As for the consequences of arson, such as the fire getting out of control and igniting the nearby forest, causing forest fires, these savage bandits from the desolate Gobi of Muspelheim didn't care at all.
Conti heard a few words drifting from below, and was deeply irritated by the content of the wolf man's discussion.
"Very good! Don't you like arson? Then let you taste the taste of being burned!"
The druid girl in the form of a blue-backed swift uttered a burst of rapid chirping, and the rhythmic melody was completely different from ordinary birdsong.
Joan noticed that the magic net around Kandy was distorted with the birdsong, and a restless energy was gathering in the air. She immediately guessed that she was using the druid's unique "wild spellcasting" technique, using birdsong instead of chanting spells, Prepare to release a fire spell.
Joan initially thought that Kandy was planning to cast the 1st-level "burning fire", but he soon discovered that the fire elemental energy gathered around Kandy far exceeded the upper limit of the 1st-level spell slots, and there were almost as much magic power as the fire system. Positive energy of comparable energy level is also extracted and mixed with the former to form a compound magic power with both attributes of "flame" and "brilliance".
In the past two years, not only Joan's arcane practice has improved rapidly, but Kandy's spellcasting ability has also improved a lot. He has been promoted to a level 7 druid and has mastered the 4th ring of natural magic.
From Kandy's spellcasting ability, it's not difficult for Joan to guess that what she's preparing to cast is the 4th ring "Flame Strike", a powerful spell with both fire and sacred attributes, which can deal the highest damage to all enemies in the bombardment area. The dual attribute damage of 15 energy levels is the main attack method of druids at this stage.
"Kangti, don't rush to cast 'flame strike', first let me add some fuel to your fire."
Joan's mental response suddenly came from his mind, which prevented Kanti from blasting out the "flame attack" that was ready for the first time. After a little thought, he realized his intentions and waited for a good show.
"Púréa!"
Using the remote casting function of "Myth Link", Joan used Conti's incarnation of Swift as the starting point, and cast the 4-ring "Boiling Oil Spell" on the group of jackals below who didn't know that death was coming.
Boiling fuel fell from the sky, and under the cover of drizzle, it splashed on the unsuspecting gnolls and their hyena servants, causing the monsters to scream with their heads in their arms. It was so scorching, sticky and black like grease.
The dripping fuel made the area where the gnolls gathered greasy, and the gnolls who tried to escape from the boiling oil fell down before taking two steps and gnawed their mouths full of sludge.
There was a murderous bird song in the air, and Kandy waved his swallow's wings, and the "Flame Strike" that had been poised for a long time finally came down.
At the foot of the hill, where the gnolls were most densely populated, flames erupted suddenly. Fiery silver pillars of fire shot up into the sky, igniting the fat flowing everywhere.
"Tinwé!"
Immediately after Conti cast "Flame Strike", Joan once again used the "Myth Link" to cast a spell remotely, using the fire snake spreading towards the hill as a medium to detonate the "Rain of Flame", and the burst of strong light radiation instantly covered the fire scene below the mountain , causing 5 energy levels of high-temperature burns to all gnolls and hyenas, and blinding their dog eyes by the way.
In addition to killing the enemy, the "rain of flames" released by Joan just rightly exhausted the heat energy of the flames spreading to the mountain, and indirectly received the effect of extinguishing the fire, protecting the friendly troops trapped on the top of the mountain from the threat of fire.
After repeated blows from "Boiling Oil", "Flame Strike" and "Rain of Fire", the gnolls and hyenas at the foot of the mountain were all killed and injured.
Only a few jackals were far away from the scene of the fire. Fortunately, they escaped unharmed. They rolled on the spot in the muddy water to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
In just a few minutes, the situation of the wolf man changed drastically, from an arrogant hunter to a fugitive fleeing with his head in his arms.
When they were about to escape into the dense forest, a silver halo suddenly appeared in front of them. A red steel giant holding a scythe appeared in front of them through the "any door", blocking the way of the fugitives.
"Dog-headed villains, all of them will die to me!"
In the cockpit of the magic pilot, "Miss Ruby" had a murderous immature face, wielding a sharp scythe to sweep it ruthlessly, two hairy heads flew into the air with horror on their faces, and the headless corpse fell down slumped.
The three jackals who followed saw their companion beheaded by the red giant with a scythe. They were so frightened that they screamed strangely, turned and ran wildly.
Ruby was too lazy to chase them, put away the sharp scythe, took off the magic crystal rapid-fire cannon from behind with her backhand, aimed at the back of the wolf man running wildly, and pulled the trigger calmly.
After three short and powerful roars, the last three Jackals also ushered in their doom. The bodies were torn apart by the howling shells one after another, and the broken flesh and blood were stained red and mottled.
